Chapter 179 If My Son-In-Law Doesn’t Like It, Neither Would I
Amber trembled and she became extremely curious. She took a step forward and asked curiously,
“Where?”
Once she asked, Jack grinned mischievously and Amber was stunned and came to her senses.
Immediately her face blushed in red and she said angrily, “You pervert! What are you thinking? My
parents and uncles are here!”
“What if they’re not?” Jackughed as he tapped on Amber’s nose.
Amber’s cheeks were red hot and she looked down shyly and didn’t say a word.
Jackughed and stopped teasing Amber, “Come, I’ll go in and greet your parents and the uncles.
What happened just now was indeed rather awkward.”
“You are getting increasingly perverted.” Amber red coyly at Jack who was walking towards the hall.
Brent heard what Amber said and heughed and said, “Master Hughes can’t be considered a pervert
if he does it with his wife.”
“Brent, hush!” Amber stomped her feet in embarrassment.
Brent shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and quickly ran to catch up with Jack.
Amber remained in position and wrung her hands and muttered, “How can that not be considered
perverted?”
Jack entered the hall and saw Steve, Minister Mable, and Director Lansing drinking tea. As they saw
Jack entering, Minister Mable and Director Lansing stood up together and smiled awkwardly.
“Jack, I’m really sorry about what happened just now.” Minister Mable spoke first, “I am to be med
for not making sure of it first.”
Jackughed and waved, “Uncle Mable, it’s alright. I have to thank you and Uncle Lansing for backing
me up.” Minister Mable and Director Lansing were very relieved to hear this. For what happened just
now, they would have backed Jack even if he wasn’t the heir of the Hughes family. After all, this was
their friend’s son-inw.
QY International Group need not fear the Burton family of the Capital. Simrly, for the two of them,
one was the most powerful in the city while the other was a giant in the medical field. They didn’t have
to be worried over the Burton family who was far away at the Capital.
“It was a misunderstanding. Everything’s fine once it’s properly exined.” Steve smiled and weed
everyone to sit down.
Once Jack sat down, Steve asked curiously, “Jack, are you really Old Master Burton’s grandson?”
On hearing this, Minister Mable and Director Lansing also looked curiously at Jack. Although they were
present for what happened just now, they were still very curious about Jack’s background.
Someone who had been born and raised in this city and struggled with his single mother for more than
twenty years and suddenly became the heir of the Hughes family. This itself was enough of an
extraordinary change. Now he was also the grandson of Old Master Burton and rted to the richest
family in the Capital.
The secrets of Jack’s past intrigued Steve, Minister Mable, and Director Lansing.
Jack nodded in confirmation.
He shrugged and smiled bitterly, “It’s indeed true but that was the past. From the moment when I was
born, I was no longer part of that family.”
“What do you mean?” Steve was Jack’s future father-inw whose status was closer to Jack than
Minister Mable and Director Lansing. So he asked without feeling restricted.
“I weathered all the storms and hardships with my mother for more than twenty years. All that we’ve
suffered were due to the Burton family!” Jack didn’t want to go into details. His mother didn’t like to
recall the past and neither did he.
Grandfather? Piss off! He once felt disgusted with the term father and never expected that the term
grandfather was far more offensive.
Steve and the other two uncles all looked stunned.
Jack continued, “It’s true that I’m the grandson of Old Master Burton. The hardships that my mother
and I experienced for more than twenty years are also real. The Burton family is willing to sacrifice
anyone for their gains. My mother and I no longer have anything to do with the Burton family.” Although
he spoke softly, it packed a punch.
Steve and the other two became bewildered.
Jack didn’t wish to remain any longer, smiled, excused himself, and left.
In the hall.
Steve and the other two exchanged looks for a moment.
Steve suddenly med Minister Mable, “Mable, you are the most powerful man in this city. Why don’t
you know about Jack’s past?”
Minister Mable shook his head, “I’m a local but I don’t even know that Jack was the son of Patrick
Hughes.”
Director Lansingughed helplessly, “Steve, don’t me Mable. People of your status don’t like others
to know the details of your travel, correct?”
Steve smiled and nodded.
Jack was a local but his parents weren’t. Whether it was the Hughes family or the Burton family, they
were extraordinary and existed on a different level. Even if they came here, they wouldn’t publicize it
and will try their best to keep it low key. Based on their capabilities, they could easily hide their identity
from those around them.
“How are we going to settle the Burton family’s issue?” Steve asked and looked at Minister Mable.
Minister Mable owned the Four Impressions Club and since this ce belonged to him, he should have
the final say.
Minister Mable hesitated for a while and looked at Steve, “Don’t ask me what to do. Just tell me what
you intend to do?”
Steve smiled and he looked serious, “If my son-inw doesn’t like him, neither will I.”
“Then I understand.” Minister Mable nodded.
After Minister Mable and Director Lansing left, Steve continued to be deep in his thoughts.
He was startled by Jack’s identity. While he looked up to the Hughes family, the Burton family was on
par with his capabilities. Though Jack was rted to these two families, he still had to go through more
than twenty years of hardships and was chosen by his daughter in the end. Even Steve couldn’t believe
this sort of fate and destiny.
“Dad… did Jack say anything?” Amber walked in.
“He did, but he didn’t go into details.”
Steve smiled and looked at Amber, “Amber, I really would like to know if you already knew of Jack’s
identity and background when you were willing to wait three years for him and did not mind that it would
be his second marriage?”
“Dad, what nonsense are you saying? Amber was still blushing.
Steveughed, “Win! What a windfall! Thanks to your persistence and not ept those oil barons,
otherwise we would have lost out big time!”
Jack asked Brent to send him directly to the office after they left the Four Impressions Club.
He really couldn’t care less about the Burton family. No matter how high Old Master Burton’s status
was, it meant nothing if he didn’t matter to him. He had already expressed how he felt about this and
Old Master Burton should know enough to cease his antics.
Once he was back in the office, Corbin ran to him excitedly.
“Jack, our four properties are almostpletely sold. This wave of earnings we had reaped is
significant. In the future, we would be able topete directly with Aiden and Drago.”
